Description:
Low doses of D-Pro2-D-Phe7-D-Trp9-substance P, as specific substance P antagonist, depressed the scratching and biting behaviors elicited by intrathecal injections of substance P, and cutaneous application of algesic substances. Higher antagonist doses caused hindlimb paralysis. This suggests that substance P is a neurotransmitter for primary nociceptor afferents and may also have an important function in motor control.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Piercey, M F -- Schroeder, L A -- Folkers, K -- Xu, J C -- Horig, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Dec 18;214(4527):1361-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6171882" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
